00:00:00There, pile driver, Santana got his hand on the bottom rope, young buddy clams TNA of Sosa, Santana, Santana retains
00:00:11against Young, his nickname, I'm gonna call in shot for a TNA world title match.
00:00:17Santana versus Nemeth, one on one at Slammiversary for the TNA World Championship.
00:00:28The record tanker, Cedric Alexander, and that cutthroat thug, Eddie Edwards, Leon Slater has not forgotten how Cedric Alexander crushed
00:00:38his dreams, Eichner's made it clear he is a sight set on the X-Division Championship.
00:00:46And a low bar check, right place, right time, the system wins.
00:00:52Moose is back, and look at the system scurry, Moose is not forgotten about the men who cast him aside.
00:01:01The set, Slammiversary, is you, Eddie Edwards, versus Moose.
00:01:09We know Ali as the backup of Order 4 at all time.
00:01:14Casey Navarro, earlier on tonight, asked Mike Santana and Nick Nemeth to put their differences aside and help him out
00:01:21at ringside, considering Order 4 to be in play.
00:01:27And Navarro is no choice, but the 10 round for the sharpshooter, Ali retains.
00:01:37Nemeth and Santana back-to-back, then Nemeth is dropped Ali.
00:01:43Danger zone!
00:01:45Could Nemeth take the TNA World title from Santana at Slammiversary?
00:02:10I'm ready for you, I'm ready for you, I'm ready for you, I'm ready to try.
00:02:20And I'm ready for you, I'm ready for you, I'm ready for you, I'm ready for you, I'm ready for
00:02:35you.
00:02:35Tomorrow will mark the 24-year anniversary of TNA Wrestling's very first broadcast.
00:02:42A landmark moment in the history of professional wrestling.
00:02:45And one week from Sunday, we'll be live on Pay-Per-View at TNA Plus in Boston to officially celebrate
00:02:52our Slammiversary.
00:02:54Tonight, from Denver, we welcome you to TNA Thursday Night Impact on AMC.
00:03:05Please welcome Zia Brookside!
00:03:10Well, we kick things off with the number one contender to the TNA Knockouts World Championship at Slammiversary.
00:03:21Zia Brookside will climb into the ring with her former best friend, Laying Lee.
00:03:26That friendship, that relationship is well in the past.
00:03:30Zia Brookside cares about one thing, and that is the Knockouts World Championship.
00:03:35Zia Brookside cares about one thing, and that is the Knockouts World Championship.
00:03:44Oh, what?
00:03:57Listen to all of you.
00:03:59You people actually think that I did something wrong.
00:04:08You all act like I committed some big, unforgivable crime
00:04:16because I turned on poor little Laying Lee.
00:04:23Aw, I hurt her feelings.
00:04:28The Angel Warriors was supposed to be about me becoming a star.
00:04:35But instead, every single week, it became about her.
00:04:42Bottom line is I should have done this a long time ago.
00:04:52But you want to know my favorite part in all of this?
00:04:58Yes, you do.
00:05:00Yes, you do.
00:05:02It was the look on Laying Lee's face.
00:05:08Those poppy dog eyes.
00:05:11The tears.
00:05:13Her whole world shattered.
00:05:21I loved it.
00:05:23And she didn't even see it coming.
00:05:25You know why?
00:05:28Why?
00:05:28Why?
00:05:29Because Laying Lee is a dumbass.
00:05:34And at Slammiversary, I take what should have been mine a long time ago.
00:05:40The TNA World Knockout Championship.
00:05:52Zaya Brookside has a hell of a fight coming her way at Slammiversary.
00:05:56Here comes the two-time TNA Knockouts World Champion.
00:06:03Zaya, I treat you like my little sister.
00:06:08I fall beside you.
00:06:11I trust you.
00:06:13But now, I see who you really are.
00:06:22You are a snake.
00:06:27No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:06:28You are a rat.
00:06:30You better watch your mouth.
00:06:46I don't even know what you just said.
00:06:49You know why?
00:06:51Because I don't care.
00:06:54I am done translating for you.
00:07:00I don't need a new translator anymore.
00:07:03I said,
00:07:06I'm not going to wait until Slamm.
00:07:08I'm going to be your ass right here, right now, in Denver, bitch!
00:07:15Oh, my goodness!
00:07:16Laying, laying all over Zaya Brookside!
00:07:19Not wasting any time here.
00:07:21We're getting Slammiversary tonight!
00:07:25Enough security flooding the rain, trying to separate champion and challenger.
00:07:31Well, clearly the heartbreak has passed.
00:07:34For Laying, Laying!
00:07:36She's looking to kick side of Brookside's ass right here, right now!
00:07:40A melee in the impact zone to kick off the broadcast tonight on AMC!
00:07:48And Brookside getting to Laying!
00:07:52What is going to contain these two?
00:07:56What is going to happen in Boston at Slammiversary?
00:08:10Oh, wait a minute!
00:08:12The champion fighting through the security!
00:08:15Wait a second!
00:08:16What the hell?
00:08:20Well, security trying to control Laying Brookside, using that to her advantage!
00:08:26And these two continue to crawl all over, unable to be pulled apart here!
00:08:37Oh, and now Lee latching out, middle of the ring!
00:08:41Security trying to talk some sense into Laying!
00:08:48Oh, wait a minute, Brookside pulled the security guard into harm's way, and escaped Lay!
00:08:55Oh, wait a minute, Brookside pulled the security guard into harm's way, and escaped Lay!
00:09:07Of what might await her at Slammiversary!
00:09:14Ziya didn't know her own question!
00:09:19The Ziya Brookside understand what she's gotten herself into!
00:09:25Lay-A-Lay awaits!
00:09:27The TNA Knockouts World Championship is on the line at Slammiversary!
00:09:37Well, still to come tonight, a huge tag team match featuring the TNA World Champion, Mike Santana,
00:09:43KC Navarro, and the call-your-shot gauntlet winner, Nick Nenna!
00:09:48For more on this, let's check in with Gia Miller.
00:09:51Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guest at this time, TNA World Champion, Mike Santana!
00:09:58Mike, tonight you team up with KC Navarro and the next challenger for your TNA World Championship, Nick Nemeth.
00:10:06By order of Derriere, you three must coexist tonight to take on the team of Mustfa Ali and the Great
00:10:12Hands,
00:10:13and specifically instructed that you cannot touch each other bell to bell.
00:10:17Your thoughts?
00:10:19Thoughts?
00:10:21To keep it a buck with you, Gia, there ain't much to really think about.
00:10:23Now, there's a reason why I've spent my entire life not trusting people.
00:10:28I should have done what I've always done, and that's listen to my gut.
00:10:31But you know what?
00:10:33I knew eventually after what happened last week, Nick Nemeth was gonna show the real bitch in his blood.
00:10:39But it's all good, because I don't take losses, I learn lessons.
00:10:43And of course, Derriere lives to make my life a living hell.
00:10:48She wants us to coexist?
00:10:49She wants us to do business tonight?
00:10:51Tonight, fine.
00:10:52I know how to be a pro.
00:10:54But listen to me, Nick.
00:10:57At Slammiversary, I will spin the block.
00:11:01And after I'm done with you, I'm gonna rip your heart out your chest, and I'm gonna make you watch
00:11:05me eat it.
00:11:07Pardon me?
00:11:08Santana, what's good?
00:11:10Javore Nasty?
00:11:11Look, hey, big bro, I understand.
00:11:13What Nick did, it wasn't cool, man.
00:11:15I understand.
00:11:15It sucks.
00:11:16It's ridiculous.
00:11:17But tonight is not about Nick Nemeth.
00:11:19Tonight is about the Order 4.
00:11:21It's about Mustafa Ali, the great hands, and, well, you know what they're gonna do, right?
00:11:25I know you know.
00:11:25They're gonna take advantage of all this tension.
00:11:27They're gonna try to make everything blow up before Slamm, and we can't let that happen, all right?
00:11:31I'm looking out for you, big bro.
00:11:32And what I think is the smart thing to do is to work together.
00:11:37Because we have to tonight.
00:11:38We have to.
00:11:43KC, I've known you a long time, kid.
00:11:46I'm gonna do what's best for tonight.
00:11:50Don't forget who's been looking out for you.
00:11:52Let's go.
00:12:19Let's go.
00:12:21The ramifications for Santana, Nemeth, and Ali in this six-man tag team match.
00:12:27Next.
00:12:49TNA Wrestling presents Lockdown, Sunday, August 23rd.
00:12:53Tickets on sale now at TNAwrestling.com.
00:12:59Well, unlike the Bears, TNA cannot wait to be in Chicago for the historic return from Lockdown, August 23rd.
00:13:07Head to TNAwrestling.com right now for complete ticket information.
00:13:10Welcome to the A-Game Hydration Announce Desk.
00:13:12He's the Drama King, Matthew Raywalt.
00:13:14I'm Tom Hennepin.
00:13:15You can use the promo code TNA15 to get 15% off your purchase of A-Game right now on
00:13:20Shopify.
00:13:21But here in Denver, Colorado, inside the Impact Zone, we're ready for a critical six-man tag team matchup.
00:13:28With Slammiversary in Boston on the horizon.
00:13:56The following is a six-man tag team match.
00:13:58Let's gather for one ball.
00:14:00Introducing first, accompanied by Tasha Steeles and Special Agent Zero, the team of John Schuyler, Jason Hodge, and the TNA
00:14:08International Champion, Mustafa Ali.
00:14:17Earlier this week, for the suit, Daria Ray on TNA's social and digital platform.
00:14:22Tremendous stakes were put on this matchup.
00:14:25I'll give you as much of it as we can here, one step at a time.
00:14:27But an important thing for Mustafa Ali, the TNA International Championship Open Challenge will go down at Slammiversary one week
00:14:36from Sunday, June 28th.
00:14:38Live on pay-per-view at TNA Plus in Boston, Massachusetts.
00:14:42Ali's challenger is yet to be announced.
00:14:45However, Mustafa Ali can benefit from this six-man tag team matchup.
00:14:51He could find himself in the TNA World title match at Slammiversary if things break his way.
00:15:10And their opponent, first, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 175 pounds, Casey Navarro!
00:15:20There is no doubt about it, the tensions between Mike Santana and Nick Nemeth are at an all-time high.
00:15:27Casey Navarro caught right in the middle.
00:15:29But you're right, Tom, that clause now.
00:15:31If those two, Mike Santana and Nick Nemeth, get physical during this contest, a bell-to-bell matchup,
00:15:37it could cause a disaster for their Slammiversary match.
00:15:40More on that in a moment.
00:15:41It was last week here on TNA Thursday Night Impact on AMC that Casey Navarro fought his heart out,
00:15:48challenging Mustafa Ali for the TNA International Championship.
00:15:52Navarro was fighting with a heavy heart, has lost his uncle, Thomas, in the last handful of weeks.
00:15:58And Ali took it to a very personal level that night.
00:16:09Next, from Cleveland, Ohio, weighing in at 214 pounds, the one in man, Nick Nemeth!
00:16:21As of now, it's official for Slammiversary Live in Boston.
00:16:25Nick Nemeth will call his shot for a TNA World Championship match against Mike Santana.
00:16:32However, per Gary Array, if Nick Nemeth touches Mike Santana in this matchup,
00:16:39he will be stripped of the Call Your Shot Gauntlet Trophy and opportunity.
00:16:44If Mike Santana touches Nick Nemeth, Santana will be stripped of the TNA World title.
00:16:51If either Nemeth or Santana fail to comply with that,
00:16:55Ali will be added to the TNA World Championship match at Slammiversary.
00:17:02A lot of ramifications for one of our biggest events of the year on the line here.
00:17:08The question is, can Santana and Nemeth coexist?
00:17:12Can they keep their emotions in check?
00:17:15They're all in action.
00:17:16They're back in the match.
00:17:17They're back in the match.
00:17:18They're back in the match.
00:17:19They're back in the match.
00:17:19They're back in the match.
00:17:20They're back in the match.
00:17:21They're back in the match.
00:17:21They're back in the match.
00:17:31They're back in the match.
00:17:35And their tag team partner from the Bronx, New York,
00:17:38weighing in at 230 pounds,
00:17:41he is the TNA World Champion,
00:17:45Mike Santana!
00:17:49Well, ladies and gentlemen, we're bracing for this six-man tag team matchup with stakes surrounding Slammiversary.
00:17:56But still to come tonight, it's the return of the Hardys and Moose to in-ring competition here at TNA.
00:18:03They will team up to make the system a little taste of what's to come at Slammiversary.
00:18:08Also, we'll see the king's speech with Brighton Kazarian, his special guests are the X Division champion Cedric Alexander and
00:18:16Leon Slater.
00:18:17Those two will be a part of Ultimate X for the X Division title at Slammiversary.
00:18:22Meanwhile, the young savage Ricky Sosa is back in action in a TNA race for the first time in months.
00:18:29Emerson being put on the shelf by Eric Young.
00:18:32Also in the knockout division, Santino Morella has granted Indy Hartwell another chance to go one-on-one with the
00:18:39only one, Elena Black.
00:18:42Absolutely stacked night here.
00:18:44And what a way to kick off the in-ring action portion of our evening.
00:18:49We've illustrated it already so far.
00:18:51Tensions very, very high, especially on the side of Santana, Navarro, and Nemeth.
00:18:57You can see Santana and Nemeth staring each other down.
00:19:01Meanwhile, it's up to Casey Navarro to play Peacemaker throughout this.
00:19:05What do you think?
00:19:05I mean, Casey runs pretty deep with both these guys.
00:19:09Obviously goes a long way back with Mike Santana.
00:19:12Known him since he was a kid, 16, 17 years old, and look at that.
00:19:16Obviously, you have to tag your partners in and out so that does not break the rules put in place
00:19:21by Daria Ray.
00:19:22It's any sort of physical contact that would go beyond the bounds of a normal tag team match.
00:19:29Basically, punch him to the other guy in the face.
00:19:31Essentially.
00:19:32You saw Casey Navarro.
00:19:34They're already having to talk Mike Santana down a little bit again.
00:19:37Known him for so long, but Nick Nemeth's been the kind of friend to Casey Navarro since Casey's return from
00:19:43injury a couple of weeks back.
00:19:45And Nemeth just prevented Santana from tagging in.
00:19:50These two have got to be careful.
00:19:52They want to keep their Slammiversary main event intact.
00:19:56Santana and Nemeth already arguing.
00:19:58There's Navarro.
00:20:00Oh, and that allowed order of form to take advantage, attacking from behind.
00:20:07And they're going to drop all three of their opponents just like that.
00:20:11That's how easy this thing could break down.
00:20:14Let's finally know how much he can benefit from chaos in this matchup.
00:20:20And now the great hands getting involved.
00:20:22A super kick by Nemeth.
00:20:24So why not foam into Orbit just like this?
00:20:28It's Jason Hotch.
00:20:30On the move.
00:20:32Caught up there by Mike Santana.
00:20:34Look out.
00:20:37Santana sending Hott for a ride.
00:20:41Order 4 is down.
00:20:42But can the Slammiversary World Title opponents, Santana and Nemeth, keep it together in this match?
00:20:51And we are back here on TNA Thursday Night Impact on AMC.
00:20:56It's Order 4.
00:20:57Oh, and it's the TNA World Champion, Mike Santana, Nick Nemeth, and Casey Navarro.
00:21:02Oh, look at this.
00:21:03Ali, though.
00:21:04Look at this teamwork from Order 4.
00:21:07A triple powerbomb and a kickout somehow by Nemeth Moro.
00:21:15Good God.
00:21:18You might notice Order 4's ranks look a little bit thin.
00:21:21This was during the commercial break.
00:21:23Watch this.
00:21:24Tasha Steeles again got involved.
00:21:26Tried to go behind the referee's back.
00:21:28Was caught red-handed.
00:21:30Tasha Steeles and Special Agent Zero were ejected from ringside during the break.
00:21:34Right now, Navarro desperately trying to claw his way to a tag.
00:21:39Oh, my God.
00:21:41A cutter reminiscent of their international title match last week.
00:21:45No doubt about it.
00:21:47Let's take another look back at this.
00:21:49Insane triple powerbomb from Order 4.
00:21:52But somehow, Casey Navarro lives to get a tag here that he desperately needs.
00:21:58Tremendous stakes for this matchup.
00:22:00With Slammiversary looming, Skyler took away the tag option.
00:22:03Navarro was launching for Nick Nemeth.
00:22:06Now the window is open to the world champ.
00:22:10Here comes Mike Santana, who is scheduled to defend his TNA World title against Nick Nemeth.
00:22:16It's Slammiversary one week away from Sunday, live in Boston.
00:22:20But if Nemeth and Santana come to blows during this matchup,
00:22:25they could be stripped of the TNA World title.
00:22:27Or stripped of their Collier time to find an opportunity, respectively.
00:22:31All that came from after Nick Nemeth.
00:22:34Oh!
00:22:35Stood eye-to-eye with Mike Santana and called his shot for Slammiversary.
00:22:39At the end of the night last week, dropping the world champion where he stood.
00:22:44Hence, tensions being higher than ever between the two.
00:22:47Santana's calling for a spin the block.
00:22:49Oh, there we go.
00:22:50Oh, an attack being made by Nemeth.
00:22:51If these two come to blows, then Mustafa Ali could find himself in the world title match.
00:22:57It's Slamm.
00:22:57100%, but it could be Gilber here.
00:22:59Oh, and a kick out there by Jason Hobbs.
00:23:02That was critical for Order 4.
00:23:03Look at Santana.
00:23:05There's fire in the eyes of the world champion.
00:23:16How can Santana trust anything Nemeth says or does?
00:23:20It was very duplicitous last week, no doubt about it.
00:23:23At the beginning and end of the night, it was very, very different.
00:23:27These two talked about shaking each other's hands at the end.
00:23:32There's a favor by the great hands.
00:23:35It's got to be.
00:23:35This could be a huge win for Order for Casey Navarro.
00:23:39Save Nemeth and the matchup.
00:23:42Right on time was Casey Navarro there.
00:23:45Multiple times he's had to really save this matchup.
00:23:49Navarro and Ali picking up for their liftoff in last week's international championship match.
00:23:55Now Ali's out on the floor.
00:23:57The great hands alone with Nemeth in the ring.
00:24:00Two on one opportunity against Nemeth.
00:24:03Santana has a choice to make.
00:24:05And he helped out Nick Nemeth.
00:24:07I'm as surprised as anyone there.
00:24:09Look at this though.
00:24:10Double rolling buck 50.
00:24:13Double danger zone.
00:24:15And look at this.
00:24:16One, two, three.
00:24:19Santana and Nemeth keep it together for now.
00:24:23Here are your winners.
00:24:26The team of Casey Navarro, Nick Nemeth, and the TNA World Champion, Mike Santana.
00:24:34Remember the edict from Daria Reyes for Nemeth and Santana was during the matchup.
00:24:42Things could explode very, very quickly here.
00:24:44Casey Navarro desperately trying to play referee here.
00:24:49Navarro trying to play peacekeeper between his longtime friend Mike Santana and somebody he respects so much.
00:24:56And Nick Nemeth.
00:24:57And wait a minute.
00:24:57There's Ryan Nemeth attacking Santana from behind.
00:25:01Now Navarro getting into it with Ryan.
00:25:04Ryan Nemeth just dropped Santana for a second there.
00:25:08Oh my God.
00:25:11Santana was aiming for Ryan.
00:25:13And he took out Casey instead.
00:25:18On a super kick by Nemeth to Santana.
00:25:35So far, every chance he has gotten, Nemeth has taken the opportunity to lay out Santana.
00:25:44Another super kick.
00:25:47Another shot Mike Santana didn't see coming.
00:25:52If a moment like that happens at Slammiversary, we could have a new TNA World Champion.
00:26:01Nemeth may have called his shot well in advance at Slammiversary, but he's looking for every shortcut possible along the
00:26:08way.
00:26:18But still to come in our main event, the returning Moose teams with the Hardys to take on the system
00:26:24in six-man tag team action.
00:26:26Plus, ahead of his first ever pay-per-view match at Slammiversary with Eric Young, Ricky Sosa is in action.
00:26:34But up next, it's time for another edition of The King's Speech with Frankie Kazarian, next on Impact.

00:27:13Okay, okay, okay, you alright? Hey, you okay?
00:27:16Yeah, I'm fine.
00:27:17Yeah, as I told you, around here, you can't trust anybody. DTA, don't trust nobody.
00:27:20Got it? You gotta watch your eyes in the back of your head out there.
00:27:23Yeah, whatever, bro.
00:27:24You okay?
00:27:25Yeah, yeah, I'm good.
00:27:25You sure?
00:27:26Yeah, as good as I'm gonna be, man.
00:27:27Okay, good.
00:27:28Alright.
00:27:30I shouldn't have done that to you, you know.
00:27:32He didn't mean to do that.
00:27:33Oh, yeah?
00:27:34He didn't mean to do it to you?
00:27:36That was so funny, and you deserved it.
00:27:38Hey, pardon me!
00:27:39When you get involved in other people's business, you get hit.
00:27:43That's what happens.
00:27:44Yo!
00:27:46I'm only doing it right now!
00:27:50I'm only doing it right now!
00:27:52Stop!
00:27:53Stop!
00:27:56Let's do this right now!
00:27:58Let's throw these damn hits, huh?
00:27:59Come on.
00:28:00Sick of that s***!
00:28:03You good?
00:28:05My bad, bro.
00:28:07That one was on me.
00:28:08I know you didn't mean it.
00:28:09Sick and tired of this bull.
00:28:10Ah, but hey!
00:28:11You gotta focus on slam, man!
00:28:13Screw all that!
00:28:14Let's go!
00:28:15I'm good!
00:28:17Get your head in the game, man!
00:28:21Spread this information!
00:28:24And the dream of the trust!
00:28:27Count the same spotation!
00:28:29Before the break, a hell of a misfire there as longtime friends Santana and Navarro on the same page.
00:28:35On attention in that camp.
00:28:37But we gotta turn our attention right now to the King himself.
00:28:40It is time for another edition of the best show in TNA.
00:28:47It's time for the King's Speech here on Impact.
00:28:52Thank you!
00:28:53Thank you!
00:28:55Thank you!
00:28:56Thank you!
00:28:57Thank you!
00:28:59Thank you!
00:29:00Thank you!
00:29:00Thank you!
00:29:01Welcome to the greatest show in the land!
00:29:03Welcome once again to the King's Speech!
00:29:11And I, of course, am your host, the King of TNA, Frankie Kazarian.
00:29:18And it's fitting we're one day away from the very anniversary of TNA itself.
00:29:23That this year, at Slammiversary, one of the most exciting and one of the most innovative matches of all time
00:29:32returns.
00:29:34Just like the t-shirt says, the Ultimate X Match is back!
00:29:46And my guests tonight are two of the participants in that match.
00:29:49But real quickly, I'm going to give you a brief history of the Ultimate X Match since it's obvious that
00:29:55you're pretty much all morons trapped up here in the mountains and you don't get a lot of information.
00:30:05What you need to understand is the Ultimate X Match exists because of me.
00:30:11The Ultimate X Match was created because of me.
00:30:15I was in the very first Ultimate X Match.
00:30:17And I have competed in and won more of those matches than anybody on the active roster.
00:30:28So when you guys are watching those matches and throwing your fat, filthy hands in the air, you can thank
00:30:36Frankie Kazarian.
00:30:45Now let me bring out my first guest.
00:30:49He is the youngest in charge.
00:30:52Please welcome Leon Slater.
00:31:18Leon Slater is looking for redemption.
00:31:21Come Slammiversary one week from Sunday, live on Pay-Per-View and TNA Plus in Boston, Massachusetts.
00:31:30Ultimate X, the X Division Championship will be on the line as Cedric Alexander defends against Leon Slater and four
00:31:38more competitors to be determined.
00:31:40I am told this is Slater's contractual rematch for the X Division title.
00:31:45And Tom, we have seen what Leon Slater is capable of in Ultimate X before.
00:31:52Imagine what he's willing to do.
00:31:53Welcome, my man.
00:31:54Now, let me bring out my next guest.
00:31:57He is the reigning and defending X Division champion.
00:32:03Please welcome Cedric Alexander.
00:32:15You can't beat the system.
00:32:31If I'm Cedric Alexander, I am thrilled that Slater gets his contractual rematch in Ultimate X and not in a
00:32:39conventional one-on-one rematch.
00:32:41As far as his business with Leon Slater is concerned, for sure.
00:32:45But let's not forget, that match is going to be full of several other wrestlers.
00:32:50A crowded field for the champ.
00:32:52All right, gentlemen, let's keep it civil.
00:32:54I got some stools.
00:32:55You can sit, but I'd rather you not.
00:32:58Now, before we start, before we get to the Ultimate X match,
00:33:01Leon, I got to ask.
00:33:03You were one day away from history.
00:33:06You were a day away from immortality.
00:33:08You were 24 hours away from becoming the longest reigning X Division champion ever.
00:33:15And look it.
00:33:15I wanted you to do it.
00:33:17I know how big of a Frankie Kazarian fan you are.
00:33:19So I wanted you to break that record.
00:33:22But this man, this man took that from you.
00:33:26So I got to know.
00:33:28And these idiots probably want to know.
00:33:31How did that feel?
00:33:36You know, Frankie, I'd be lying if I told you that it didn't hurt when I love you.
00:33:41Ha!
00:33:42Ha!
00:33:43Ha!
00:33:45Ha!
00:33:46Ha!
00:33:48I'm glad it hurts!
00:33:50Hey, how about you shut your ass, clap mouth,
00:33:53before I come over there and smack it off your face?
00:33:57Okay, okay.
00:33:59We're all gentlemen here.
00:34:01Well, at least I am.
00:34:02Please, continue.
00:34:04Because, Cedric, you don't understand, man.
00:34:06You ain't never felt hurt like that.
00:34:07You don't know pain like that.
00:34:09You don't know the pain of having your mom and your sister watching from 5,000 miles away
00:34:14in the UK and failing.
00:34:19You don't know the pain of having a whole country on your back and failing.
00:34:23You don't know the pain of having every single one of these people counting on you
00:34:33and failing.
00:34:35And I could have made any excuse in the book.
00:34:37It was jet lag.
00:34:38It was the travel.
00:34:39It was the blood trickling down my face.
00:34:41But there's no excuse.
00:34:42The truth is that you beat me.
00:34:46You're damn right.
00:34:47You're damn right I did.
00:34:49Me, Prime, Alexander.
00:34:55Let's face facts, Leon.
00:34:57Face the facts.
00:34:58Ever since you walked within this company, everyone told you you were special.
00:35:02Everyone told you you were talented.
00:35:04Everyone handed you something on a silver platter.
00:35:07What happened, though?
00:35:08What happened when you were at the mountaintop?
00:35:10When you were at the very tip top of that mountain?
00:35:12The air got thin.
00:35:14You talked.
00:35:15And I became X Division champion.
00:35:22Keep in mind, Leon.
00:35:24Keep in mind.
00:35:25I've told you way before.
00:35:27You were never on my level.
00:35:31And I proved that to you.
00:35:33Understand something.
00:35:34Every time they talk about your title reign.
00:35:36Every time they mention the youngest in charge.
00:35:39The longest reigning champion of all time.
00:35:41What are they going to remember?
00:35:43They're going to remember that one day short.
00:35:46One day short.
00:35:49I stole your dream.
00:35:51I bathed in the tears of your heartbreak.
00:35:54And became champion.
00:35:55Champion.
00:35:58Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:35:59You knew this was going to explode.
00:36:04No, no, no, no.
00:36:08That is not yours.
00:36:12That is not yours.
00:36:13Hey, hey, hey.
00:36:15Talk on your own.
00:36:16I'm Tim.
00:36:17You're not.
00:36:18Shit over.
00:36:19It's my show.
00:36:20Hey, we don't give it to these marks for free.
00:36:23Slam it for Slammiversary.
00:36:26Slam it for the Ultimate X.
00:36:31Speaking of the Ultimate X.
00:36:33My friend Daria Ray gave me a little information.
00:36:38That I want to share with you guys.
00:36:40And I want to share with all of you.
00:36:44There's going to be another contestant.
00:36:46In the Ultimate X match.
00:36:48And that man is none other.
00:36:51Than the king of TNA.
00:36:52Hey, Frankie Kazarian.
00:36:56So it doesn't matter that you are the champion.
00:36:59And it doesn't matter that you were.
00:37:01Because the Slammiversary.
00:37:03And the Ultimate X.
00:37:05The king will reign supreme.
00:37:08Now hit my sexy music.
00:37:12A bombshell just dropped on the king's speech.
00:37:16Kazarian is going to be in his first Ultimate X match in 15 years.
00:37:21It's Slammiversary.
00:37:22The originator, the blueprint maker for Ultimate X will be in there with some of the best for the X
00:37:29Division title.
00:37:33Well, right now it's time for the TNA Injury Report presented by Zonify.
00:37:38Free TV doesn't have to feel free.
00:37:42KC Navarro's left knee is currently being evaluated after he re-aggravated the injury over the past week and further
00:37:49stressing it during tonight's six-man tag.
00:37:51Medical personnel are assessing the extent of the damage and an update on Navarro's condition will be provided when available.
00:37:58The TNA Knockouts World Champion, Lei Ying Li, suffered a chipped tooth during the physical altercation with Zaya Brookside earlier
00:38:06on tonight.
00:38:06Despite the injury, Li remains medically cleared to compete.
00:38:11Following injuries sustained in the brutal Wicked Garden, both Matt and Jeff Hardy have been medically cleared to return to
00:38:17action.
00:38:18The legendary duo and their partner Moose all are back in action in TNA as they face the system in
00:38:25our main event tonight.
00:38:26This has been the TNA Injury Report presented by Zonify.
00:38:34But still to come, Moose has some unfinished business when he joins with the Hardys to take on the system
00:38:40in six-man tag team action.
00:38:43Plus, in the Knockouts Division, Elena Black and Indy Hartwell renew their rivalry when they go one-on-one.
00:38:50But up next, we will see the young savage Ricky Sosa in action ahead of his first ever TNA pay
00:38:57-per-view matchup at Slammiversary with Eric Young.
00:39:03For years, this has been one of music's greatest stories.
00:39:07A story of triumph, vision, and the desire to achieve the impossible.
00:39:12When Elisha didn't want to work with me, it hurt me.
00:39:15It did.
00:39:16I'm trying to think of something to say to you that you haven't heard before.
00:39:21Tonight on Inside the Music, we take a special look at one of music's fastest rising moguls.
00:39:26And that's why God put me on Earth.
00:39:38As a young kid growing up in Pioneer City, you hear a lot of dreams that people have.
00:39:44Some people want to become a professional athlete, go to the NFL.
00:39:49Some people want to become a professional wrestler, you know, main event pay-per-views and perform in Madison Square
00:39:56Garden.
00:39:56And, you know, luckily, I was talented enough to do all of those things.
00:40:01But, you know, that wasn't my real dream.
00:40:07You know, as a kid, when I read the biography of a great American hero named Suge Knight,
00:40:17who overcame the odds and became a music mogul, I knew that that was the calling for me.
00:40:24I knew I was put on Earth to make sure that people that didn't deserve the rights to their own
00:40:30music didn't have access to it.
00:40:33And that's why God put me on Earth.
00:40:35When Elijah didn't want to work with me and I, trying to be the better person, offered a collab with
00:40:43him, it hurt me.
00:40:45It did.
00:40:49And I, I can't believe I'm going to admit this, but it hurt me right here.
00:40:57So I decided, naturally, to look up his catalog.
00:41:02I mean, the man doesn't really have that many strings.
00:41:06But, in the process, I was able to accomplish a dream that I had since I was a little kid.
00:41:12And now, I'm a real music mogul.
00:41:17I mean, I'm not just the guy that made his own music in every company he's been to.
00:41:22I'm the guy that owns the music from the guy that doesn't deserve to be here with me.
00:41:32All I want to come out of this is, I want to be the inspiration that I obviously am to
00:41:39future music moguls.
00:41:41So they can go out and have little baby music moguls that know the value in owning other people's rights.
00:41:49Because they don't deserve them.
00:41:51And if being a music mogul is wrong, then I don't want to be right.
00:42:06Wait, well, this is ridiculous.
00:42:08AJ Francis owns Elijah's likeness.
00:42:11Them's the law, them's the breaks, kid.
00:42:17The only contest is scheduled for one part.
00:42:21Introducing first, from Brussels, Belgium, weighing it at 100 kilograms, Ricky Sousa.
00:42:45For the first time in three months, Ricky Sousa is back in action inside a TNA ring.
00:42:52And the reason we've not seen Ricky Sousa in action is because of our guest here on commentary, Eric Young.
00:43:01Eric, we've known each other a long time.
00:43:04I understand that you are upset.
00:43:06You lost the TNA World Championship match you had last week against Mike Santana.
00:43:10Can you be civil?
00:43:12I would be justified, wouldn't I, Tom?
00:43:14As a rational person, as a good person, you understand that I'd be justified.
00:43:19I understand.
00:43:20In doing whatever I want, but here's what you need to understand.
00:43:22I'm in control.
00:43:24I'll decide.
00:43:26Not the splash-in-the-pan punk pretender.
00:43:29I'll decide.
00:43:32It's hard to argue that last week in that World Championship matchup, you had that match won before Ricky Sousa
00:43:41showed up.
00:43:43And his opponent from the Rocky Mountains weighing it at 250 pounds, Dak Draper!
00:43:50He only exists in the dreams of beautiful women.
00:43:53He is the mile-high magnum of 14-year veteran.
00:43:58Set to go one-on-one with the young savage, Ricky Sousa, who, EYU thought you had cleansed the TNA
00:44:05of Ricky Sousa.
00:44:06How did you respond?
00:44:08What were you thinking mentally when Ricky Sousa showed up last week during your World Title match?
00:44:13I tried to be civil.
00:44:14I wanted to do him a favor.
00:44:16I wanted to show him there's a cost to this.
00:44:18And now he made this personal.
00:44:21Very, very personal, Tom.
00:44:23EY, didn't you make this personal when you delivered a pile driver to Sousa months ago?
00:44:30Everyone has to learn, and everyone has to learn the hard way.
00:44:34Ricky's a punk.
00:44:35He's a pretender.
00:44:36He's a flashback.
00:44:37He's done nothing.
00:44:38Absolutely nothing.
00:44:40He's done nothing to prove anything to me, except for he's not very smart.
00:44:46Oh, Ricky Sousa.
00:44:48Anyone up here on deck?
00:44:50Draper.
00:44:50I don't know if I'd agree with a lot that you just said there, EY.
00:44:53You've got to give someone like Ricky Sousa a chance.
00:44:55Obviously, oh, he has a following across the world.
00:44:59Everywhere he goes, he seems to go viral.
00:45:01Tremendous athletic potential inside the ring.
00:45:03Look at this chase.
00:45:05Boy!
00:45:06Absolutely incredible athleticism.
00:45:08This is Sousa trying to put away Draper.
00:45:10Yeah, I mean, obviously, he's a freak, right?
00:45:12He's an insane athlete.
00:45:14But what I tried to do is show him there's a cost to this.
00:45:18I did him a favor.
00:45:19He doesn't see that, but someday he'll understand.
00:45:22And come this anniversary, he's really going to understand.
00:45:26I never thought I necessarily agree with the world-class maniac himself, but it's true.
00:45:31This is a hard life.
00:45:33This is a hard business, and you've got to learn hard lessons.
00:45:40Still to come tonight here on TNA Thursday Night Impact on AMC knockouts action.
00:45:45Indy Hartwell has asked Santina Morella for one more opportunity to go one-on-one with Elena Black.
00:45:50Those two do battle this evening.
00:45:52And also, the Hardys are back in action.
00:45:55Moose is back in action.
00:45:57The Hardys and Moose team up to face the system later on tonight.
00:46:03Jack Draper slowing down the momentum here of Ricky Sousa.
00:46:07This could absolutely shudder his return here in TNA Wrestling.
00:46:13The hip toss there.
00:46:14Sousa very nimble.
00:46:15Connected with a drop kick.
00:46:186'4", over 200 pounds.
00:46:21Long, lean and powerful.
00:46:23You've got to give it to Sousa.
00:46:26Is it time to fly?
00:46:28Sousa over the top, and he wipes out Dak Draper.
00:46:34Eric Young staring a hole through the young savage.
00:46:40Not much of it.
00:46:44Take another look at this.
00:46:45The way Sousa took to the skies.
00:46:48We were already mile high here in Denver, but Sousa took it to another level.
00:46:55Eric, imagine if someone had tried to quote-unquote clip your wings early on in your career,
00:47:00like you're trying to do to Ricky Sousa.
00:47:02We wouldn't have seen the breadth of your fantastic resume.
00:47:06This is the word that you don't understand, Tom, because you've never been a competitor.
00:47:08That happened to me a thousand times, and guess who's still standing here?
00:47:12Guess who's still.
00:47:14Was almost the champion a couple weeks ago, and he cost me.
00:47:18He cost me.
00:47:19Sousa could have a future like that.
00:47:21Yeah.
00:47:22Not if he keeps costing people like Eric Young championship matches.
00:47:26That was a bold move by the young man.
00:47:30It was a stupid move, and he's going to understand.
00:47:33I think it was the response off being pile-driven, put on the shelf.
00:47:38Once.
00:47:40Yeah, it was bold.
00:47:41I agree with you, but Ricky Sousa, in my mind, did the biggest thing possible.
00:47:45I mean what I say.
00:47:45I said the cleanses coming.
00:47:47The cleanses already here.
00:47:48Joe Hendry was a pretender.
00:47:50I eliminated him.
00:47:51Ricky Sousa is a flash in the pan.
00:47:53I tried to show him the door.
00:47:55Easy three wanted his crying back, and I eliminated him.
00:47:59True.
00:48:01I do what I say, Tom, and I mean what I say.
00:48:04Yeah, I know that.
00:48:05And when I say Ricky Sousa's in trouble, I mean it.
00:48:09Let's keep things civil here, Eric.
00:48:11They're beyond my time.
00:48:13I decided.
00:48:14Now, Draper, Draper was trying to set up Ricky Sousa.
00:48:21Spotting with these chops.
00:48:24Could be a look ahead to what you have ahead of you.
00:48:27That is my anniversary, Eric.
00:48:29Thanks for here.
00:48:30By Draper Sousa, I'm going to kick out at two.
00:48:35You know you two will go one-on-one in Boston, June 28th.
00:48:43Could be the biggest moment of his life.
00:48:45It'll also be the last time anyone sees him in a pro wrestling ring.
00:48:49That's a guarantee.
00:48:52Now, Draper was going for the pump handle.
00:48:55Oh, and a kick there, my Sousa.
00:48:59Put up here, big German suplex.
00:49:04Sousa's got to keep this momentum going, though.
00:49:07Foot on the gas.
00:49:11And now Sousa connects with the uppercut.
00:49:17Not done.
00:49:19This train moving.
00:49:20Oh, move right to the face here by Draper.
00:49:24Sousa goes all the way up to get her.
00:49:35And now Sousa with a picture-perfect dropkick off the top rope.
00:49:41This is big momentum now looking over at you, Eric.
00:49:45Trying to send a message here.
00:49:47Trying to set up.
00:49:49There it is.
00:49:50Blue thunder bang.
00:49:53Ricky Sousa returns.
00:49:56Victorious.
00:49:58Here is your winner, Ricky Sousa.
00:50:16One week from Sunday, June 28th, live on Pay-Per-View and TNA Plus in Boston, Massachusetts.
00:50:24It is the biggest matchup of Ricky Sousa's young career.
00:50:28It's Sousa against the two-time TNA world champion, Eric Young, at Slammiversary.
00:50:49No, it will sound too girly.
00:50:51You, like, put some face into it.
00:50:54Boom, boom, boom.
00:50:55Yeah, just like that.
00:50:57It's really good.
00:50:59Oh!
00:51:00Miss Sousa, how are you?
00:51:02You look beautiful today.
00:51:03Yes, we heard Frankie Kazarian mention there's some possible spots available in the Ultimate
00:51:08X coming up.
00:51:10Yes, that's correct.
00:51:11Okay, great.
00:51:12Listen, I have an amazing idea.
00:51:13You gotta hear me out.
00:51:14Look what I got here.
00:51:15Right here is someone who's absolutely unbelievable.
00:51:19Do you know?
00:51:20His body composition is only 1% body fat.
00:51:22He is stunning.
00:51:24Everyone wants to see him.
00:51:25He sells tickets.
00:51:26People are waiting in huge lineups for meet and greets.
00:51:28This.
00:51:28He's, he's, he's...
00:51:29And what, what, what he's trying to say is he is literally perfect.
00:51:34Yeah.
00:51:35He's perfect.
00:51:37Yes, yes, I know.
00:51:38He's perfect.
00:51:39I understand.
00:51:40Um, but I don't go based off what the talent tells me.
00:51:42I go based off business, um, numbers, statistics.
00:51:46I see that.
00:51:48And, yeah, Mr. Elegance does draw, so...
00:51:52Yes.
00:51:53Yes.
00:51:53Yes.
00:51:54Yes.
00:51:55He's in.
00:51:56He's an ultimate X.
00:51:57This is amazing.
00:51:58It's so easy.
00:51:59He's gonna be a star.
00:52:00He's gonna win a title.
00:52:01It's just gonna happen.
00:52:01Oh, oh, oh!
00:52:03Are you good?
00:52:04What was that about?
00:52:05What was that?
00:52:06What do you think you were...
00:52:06I was just gonna tell you, like, good luck tonight?
00:52:10Uh, yeah.
00:52:11Maybe you should watch and learn a thing or two.
00:52:13Oh!
00:52:15What am I gonna learn from her?
00:52:17Nothing.
00:52:17What a loser.
00:52:18You're gonna learn nothing from her.
00:52:19She's, like, going downtown.
00:52:20I gotta hear you with it.
00:52:24Slammiversary is one week away from Sunday.
00:52:27Live on Pay-Per-View and TNA Plus in Boston, Massachusetts.
00:52:30You can get your tickets now via TNAWrestling.com.
00:52:34The Sun knocked down.
00:52:35I'm the only one.
00:52:37The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:52:39Introducing first, from Chicago, Illinois,
00:52:44Elena Black.
00:52:46Elena Black, just like everyone else here at TNA,
00:52:49has their eyes set on Slammiversary.
00:52:52The knockouts, of course, keep an eye on the outcome of Zia Brookside and Lei Ying Li.
00:52:58Everybody jockeying for position.
00:53:00And, of course, unfinished business that Elena Black and Indy Hartwell still have get settled here tonight.
00:53:06Well, this has been going on for a few weeks.
00:53:08We saw the interaction last week.
00:53:11But also, two weeks ago, it was Elena Black saying that she, quote,
00:53:15outperformed everyone in the Champions Challenge match.
00:53:18I do have to say, Elena Black didn't win that match.
00:53:21That would have been outperforming everybody.
00:53:28And her opponent, from Melbourne, Australia, Indy Hartwell.
00:53:37Well, joining us here on commentary for this knockouts matchup,
00:53:41the go-getter, Mara Shade, is back with us.
00:53:44Can you give us some insight into this situation between Elena Black and Indy Hartwell?
00:53:50Well, because Elena Black has been casting aspersions of Hartwell for weeks.
00:53:53A thousand percent.
00:53:54You know, Elena has this problem with running her mouth.
00:53:57And I just feel like Indy's doing what she has to do when that's, you know, put her in her
00:54:01place.
00:54:02So.
00:54:04What do you think about Elena Black saying that she's run circles around the entire knockouts division?
00:54:09That's laughable.
00:54:10It's actually really funny because I don't see it.
00:54:13You remember Sacrifice, right?
00:54:15I do.
00:54:15And you beat Elena Black that night in New Orleans.
00:54:18So where are these circles?
00:54:19Do you remember that?
00:54:20I do.
00:54:21Of course.
00:54:22I have an incredible memory.
00:54:23But y'all can't live in the past.
00:54:24We got to live in the now.
00:54:26And he's right.
00:54:27Yes.
00:54:27He's right.
00:54:29Whoa.
00:54:29Elena Black.
00:54:30Let's try to lash out there at Hartwell.
00:54:36And I, for one, I'm a little suspect of Indy Hartwell,
00:54:40maybe using her very oddly close relationship with Santino Morella
00:54:45to get this match, to get other opportunities.
00:54:47How do we know she's not using the director of authority for her own means?
00:54:52Oh, listen.
00:54:53You gotta do what you gotta do.
00:54:55Okay, that sounds like an admission.
00:54:57Hold on.
00:54:57Hold on a sec.
00:54:57I believe there's a genuine friendship between Indy Hartwell and Santino Morella.
00:55:01Indy asked Santino for the opportunity to right or wrong
00:55:05because these two went one-on-one not too long ago.
00:55:08And that got drilled via DQ because Ariana Grace was to cover and a kick out by Black.
00:55:13So, God forbid, Indy Hartwell wants another shot at Elena Black because of the sketchy outcome.
00:55:20And that's all well and good.
00:55:21Well, just depending on the outcome of this matchup,
00:55:23if she gets a big win here over Elena Black, maybe it's, oh, Santino,
00:55:27maybe I should get a world title shot after Slammiversary.
00:55:30Oh, buddy-up Santino, maybe I should get this or that or the other.
00:55:34Just saying.
00:55:35Well, we know it's Slammiversary one week away from Sunday.
00:55:38The Knockouts World Championship is on the line,
00:55:41playingly defending against Sia Brookside.
00:55:44Here's the cover.
00:55:45Shoulders down and a kick out.
00:55:46And, Mara, I know you're excited about this.
00:55:48The Knockouts World Tag Team titles are on the line
00:55:51as the Elegates brand finally have a defense in front of them.
00:55:54They're defending against your newfound friends,
00:55:57Rosemary and Allie at Slammiversary.
00:55:59They are.
00:56:00They have their eyes on the tag team titles as they should.
00:56:04Mara, can you explain more about this friendship you have
00:56:07with Rosemary and Allie of all people?
00:56:10No way!
00:56:11How hot, wow!
00:56:12Hold on, here's the cover.
00:56:13What's the leg and a kick out?
00:56:15What's the Undead Realm like?
00:56:17It's an amazing place, not going to lie, surprisingly.
00:56:20I just, I loved it there, and I took a couple tips and tricks, so.
00:56:25I enjoyed it.
00:56:26I would not have put you three together
00:56:27if you would have paid me a million dollars.
00:56:29This is an odd pairing if there ever was one.
00:56:32There's the cover and kick out.
00:56:34What can I say?
00:56:34Clearly.
00:56:37Don't go in the head!
00:56:39You're stuck!
00:56:39Always on the hair.
00:56:40Black in control against Hartwell.
00:56:43Indeed, what another shot against Elena Black,
00:56:45kind of similar to what you've dealt with with Elena Black
00:56:47a few months ago and lead up to sacrifice.
00:56:49You wanted another shot after Elena Black cheated
00:56:52in your first encounter.
00:56:53That's what led to your no disqualifications, man.
00:56:56Facts!
00:56:56In which I put her in her place there, too.
00:56:58And I don't have any problem with doing it again.
00:57:03The knockouts division clearly has a lot of talent,
00:57:06a lot of go-getters, if you will, Mara.
00:57:09Not going to lie.
00:57:10Not going to lie.
00:57:11Whoa, there's only one, sir, and that's Mara Sade.
00:57:14Okay.
00:57:16Hold up here.
00:57:17Number by Black and a kick out.
00:57:19That said, we mentioned the knockouts world title match
00:57:22at Slammiversary.
00:57:23I imagine you have your eyes on that very close as well.
00:57:26Most certainly.
00:57:27I always am going to have my eyes on the pass.
00:57:30The go-getter has her eyes on the pass for sure.
00:57:33Especially the way Ziya Brookside turned her back
00:57:35on her best friend laying Lee to do so.
00:57:38I'm sure it taught you a lesson.
00:57:39Most certainly not to trust her.
00:57:40Ladies, here we go.
00:57:41Shoulders down.
00:57:43Shoulders down on a kick out.
00:57:44What happened to do what you got to do?
00:57:46I mean, I still believe in that.
00:57:48I do.
00:57:49To each their own.
00:57:51You're not mutually exclusive.
00:57:53Oh, the move.
00:57:54Indie Hartwell's got an opportunity.
00:57:56Here trying to take down Elena Black.
00:57:59Big spine buster.
00:58:00Here's the cover.
00:58:01Oh, and a kick out.
00:58:03Indie Hartwell, though.
00:58:04You saw there right in the middle of that cover
00:58:06still favoring the back.
00:58:07But hold the phone.
00:58:09There's the Elegance brand.
00:58:11The personal concierge and Ash by Elegance.
00:58:14One of your favorite people, Mara.
00:58:16Most certainly not.
00:58:17You got that one wrong.
00:58:20Indie, Ash, and Elena have been at odds
00:58:23over the last few weeks.
00:58:24It's on the distraction by the brand.
00:58:26Helped out Elena Black.
00:58:29What is she even doing here?
00:58:31Got to keep her eyes on it.
00:58:32Probably she's getting a front row view
00:58:35of this incredible knockout's action.
00:58:38I think this is some payback from last week
00:58:40on behalf of the brand.
00:58:49Oh, now Ash by Elegance trying to climb into the ring
00:58:53and that's the first shot A to prevent it.
00:58:56We're inside the ring.
00:58:57Indie Hartwell with a backslide.
00:59:00Hartwell being black.
00:59:02Oh!
00:59:04Oh, my God.
00:59:05Oh, my God.
00:59:07Knockout's flying everywhere here.
00:59:34Oh, now Ash by Elegance heading for the hills,
00:59:37getting away from the chaos
00:59:39as Hartwell and Sade stand tall
00:59:43at the end of this one.
00:59:46Tensions are running high.
00:59:49Every knockout is looking for an opportunity,
00:59:52looking for a spotlight.
00:59:54A slam-a-versary.
00:59:56Come on, come on.
00:59:57I remember being back!
00:59:58and I remember wearing the Poke Shaun
01:00:09coming for the sort of artwork.
01:00:10And the heart's acabar-assalyst.
01:00:13All right, let me know if you're here
01:00:16That was the time.
01:00:17Par moeten ze all획ставati.
01:00:20does it. Listen, I got to talk to you about something. When I came to TNA, I didn't come
01:00:24here to be another name on the roster. I came here to show the world that I'm one of the
01:00:28best
01:00:28professional wrestlers on the planet. So with Slammiversary coming up, I want to make history
01:00:32at the biggest TNA event of the year. And I got my eyes set on one match in particular. I
01:00:36think
01:00:36you know what I'm talking about. Ultimate X. Now you know as well as I do that after everything
01:00:42I've been through with the system over the last few weeks, I belong in that match. So I'm asking
01:00:46you, as a fellow Italian, to give me one of the remaining spots. What do you say? Cento per
01:00:53cento. Earlier tonight, Deria gave Mr. Elephants a match, so you got one too. Perfecto. Grazie
01:00:59mille. Beautiful, beautiful. I'd love to see the boss in a good mood. Hey, listen. Casey
01:01:04Navarro is a good kid. Just came back from injury. The champ just took his head off. He's
01:01:09passing these spots out. Ultimate X. Give the kid a shot. Put him in there. I'm feeling
01:01:13for all time's sake. What do you think? Daddy, charity today. You know what? You
01:01:15got it too. Hey, thanks, buddy. That guy's problem.
01:01:25What appears the feel for Ultimate X at Slammiversary is set, but coming up next is the return of the
01:01:32Hardys and Moose to in-ring competition here in TNA. They clash with the system. A little
01:01:38taste of what's to come at Slammiversary next in our main event. Ladies and gentlemen, as we've
01:01:45learned throughout the night, the feel for Ultimate X at Slammiversary has been set. Cedric Alexander
01:01:51will defend his X Division title against Leon Slater, Fabian Eichner, Mr. Elegant, Casey Navarro,
01:01:58and Frankie Kazarian. It all goes down Sunday, June 28th, live in Boston.
01:02:05Ladies and gentlemen, tonight on Thursday Night Impact will be the first time we're seeing
01:02:09the Hardys after the Wicked Garden match. Now, after that match went down...
01:02:15I'm pretty sick and tired of your damn games, Nick. So how about I make this real easy for
01:02:20you? How about after this is all done, you meet me in the ring. Let's do this man-to-man.
01:02:27Okay. Let's get it.
01:02:34The TNA World Champion calling out his Slammiversary opponent, Nick Nemeth. We're going to keep
01:02:40an eye on that situation tonight on Impact. You can't beat the Slammiversary.
01:02:57The following is a six-man tag team match scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, accompanied by
01:03:03Alicia Edwards, the team of Eddie Edwards, and the TNA World Tag Team Champions, Brian Myers and Bear Bronson,
01:03:15The System!
01:03:18I'm speaking of Slammiversary. The System has their dance card full.
01:03:23We know that Brian Myers and Bear Bronson, the Tag Team Champions, will defend those titles in a three-way
01:03:31ladder match against the Righteous and one of their opponents tonight, the Hardys.
01:03:37Meanwhile, the man himself, Eddie Edwards, can finally put to bed this long-needed rivalry with Moose as they go
01:03:45one-on-one.
01:03:46Also, Cedric Alexander, the X Division Champion, will defend his title in Ultimate X. It all goes down one week
01:03:54from Sunday, live on Pay-Per-View with TNA Plus in Boston, Massachusetts, at Slammiversary.
01:04:03No.
01:04:12Go be stranded, no.
01:04:18Sit down eight.
01:04:28It's OK, show up!ases,
01:04:33Yeah!
01:04:38Yeah!
01:04:42Yeah!
01:04:45Yeah!
01:04:46Yeah!
01:04:50Yeah!
01:04:52Yeah!
01:04:55Haha!
01:04:59Yeah...
01:05:00I don't think so!
01:05:01For some more...
01:05:12And their opponents, the team of Moose, and Rose Pat, and Wanda Nero, the party!
01:05:25Do we have a broken Moose on our heads?
01:05:29What in God's name am I looking at?
01:05:33The face of the franchise mingling with the broken universe!
01:05:38Could be a dangerous combination for the system here.
01:05:51This is a set I never thought we'd see.
01:05:54Absolutely not, but no matter which way you cut it, Moose certainly found a hell of a pair of tag
01:06:01team partners in the Hardys.
01:06:04This is the broken, the reborn Hardys.
01:06:12The righteous believed that they had taken control of TNA Wrestling in the wake of the Wicked Garden.
01:06:19They thought they'd made the Hardys fade away and become obsolete, but they were wrong.
01:06:25Meanwhile, the system thought they had left Moose for dead weeks ago, and Moose has returned to bring the fight
01:06:33directly to Eddie Edwards and company.
01:06:37He wants to settle everything for the beginning of the year.
01:06:40The unceremonious booting of himself and J.D.C. out of the system, beaten out of the system.
01:06:48And it looks like they may just start this matchup properly.
01:06:55Here we see a preview of Slammiversary, and oh boy!
01:07:01Eddie Edwards and Moose, their rivalry has been bitter for over a decade.
01:07:07Eddie knows Moose all too well and opting not to clash with the face of the franchise.
01:07:13In comes one half of the tag champ, Brian Myers.
01:07:16The line game's already beginning, courtesy of the system.
01:07:19Now Brian Myers says he wants broken, not Hardy.
01:07:24Perhaps give the broken one a preview of what might happen come Slammiversary in that three-way ladder match.
01:07:31Remember, it was last year at Slammiversary, we saw a four-team ladder match for the TNA World Tag Team
01:07:38Championships.
01:07:39The Hardys walked out with their fourth TNA World Tag Team Championship that night on Long Island,
01:07:45and they reimagined the ladder match for the process.
01:07:48Innovation never stops within the minds of the Hardys.
01:07:53That ladder descending from the ceiling.
01:07:55Who knows what they might pull out of the basket for Slammiversary this year.
01:08:00Matt Hardy assaulting the left arm of Brian Myers.
01:08:05If the broken Hardys can capture the titles at Slammiversary,
01:08:09they'll tie the Wolves and Beer Money, Inc.
01:08:12with five TNA World Tag Team titles.
01:08:15Tied for the most of any team in this company's history.
01:08:20There's no doubt about the fact that the Hardys
01:08:23have had a new lease on life since being here in TNA
01:08:28on this most recent journey they've been on tag.
01:08:31And especially after everything they've been through with the Righteous.
01:08:35Totally new sign of the Hardys.
01:08:38Brother Nero and Broke and Matthew working together in a kick out,
01:08:41but will the presence of the Righteous in that match be a distraction for the Hardys?
01:08:48Very well could be.
01:08:49We saw what happened in that Wicked Garden.
01:08:51They were beaten.
01:08:52They were buried deep within the Garden.
01:08:57What a poetry in motion tonight in Denver, Colorado.
01:09:02And Eddie Edwards thinking a little bit better of clashing with Moose.
01:09:08The System's got a regroup.
01:09:11The Broken Ones, the Hardys and Moose in command here on AMC.
01:09:16TNA Thursday night impact on AMC in Denver, Colorado.
01:09:21It's the System up against the Broken Hardys and a Broken Moose as well.
01:09:26Let me show you how this match turned during the commercial break.
01:09:29It's Alicia Edwards who had the attention of Jeff Hardy allowing Brian Myers to take advantage of it so quickly.
01:09:36Eddie Edwards and company jump up.
01:09:38And it's continued as you can see there on the left-hand side of your screen.
01:09:41Alicia Edwards once again going behind the referee's back.
01:09:45You can understand why Jeff's brother Matt is furious.
01:09:48Ride or die for a reason.
01:09:52Alicia Edwards will never not have her husband's back.
01:09:56She will always have her husband's back.
01:09:57That's what I'm saying.
01:09:58She will never not have her husband's back.
01:10:00Yes, it is.
01:10:01Anyway, the match continues.
01:10:03Eddie Edwards poking at Moose.
01:10:06Moose and Edwards' opponents come slam-aversely one week away from Sunday in Boston.
01:10:12They may not wait for it, though.
01:10:14Are you kidding me?
01:10:15Look at Moose.
01:10:16Power bomb to Edwards on the apron.
01:10:19Oh, God.
01:10:20Moose strikes.
01:10:24And even Bear Bronson caught off guard by that.
01:10:29Bronson and Myers are scheduled to defend their TNA World Tag Team titles against the Broken Hardys and the Righteous
01:10:36in a ladder match come slam-aversary.
01:10:40Moose may have just eliminated Eddie Edwards from this match entirely.
01:10:43You're absolutely correct.
01:10:45We've got to keep an eye on that situation.
01:10:48Meanwhile, another situation we have to keep an eye on.
01:10:50Mike Santana has pulled out.
01:10:53Nick Nemeth, the TNA World Champion.
01:10:55What's Nick Nemeth?
01:10:57Face-to-face later on tonight?
01:10:58The cover here for Bronson.
01:10:59Jeff Hardy's name is on.
01:11:00Kick out there.
01:11:01We've got to look at what Moose did moments ago.
01:11:03And it's just picking up Eddie Edwards like nothing and destroying and spying first on the apron.
01:11:09Spur of the moment, too.
01:11:11Very much.
01:11:12And now Bronson has a hold of Jeff Hardy.
01:11:14A tag-made in comes Myers.
01:11:16The system, Bronson and Myers as champions, have to feel like the forgotten team at this point in time going
01:11:22into slam-aversary.
01:11:23I mean, everyone, everyone in the entire TNA audience, the entire company.
01:11:28Cover here.
01:11:29Kick out by Hardy.
01:11:29Has been enraptured with what's been going on between the sick and twisted righteous and the broken hearties.
01:11:36All of these things that's gone on over the last six months.
01:11:40But let's not forget, no one should forget who the champs are.
01:11:44And that's the system.
01:11:45A reminder, the countdown to TNA Slammiversary presented by iHeartRadio will be live in 48 across TNA Plus and TNA

01:12:10Myers.
01:12:11And now Matt Hardy getting the referee's attention inadvertently there.
01:12:14Lyle and Bear Bronson to have his run of Jeff Hardy.
01:12:18Well, this has been egregious throughout this matchup, the way the system has worked behind the referee's back to cheat.
01:12:27Take any advantage they can get.
01:12:29This is how they operate.
01:12:30This is how they get things done.
01:12:32Like it or not, it's hell of effective.
01:12:36Oh, Myers and Hardy down center of the ring.
01:12:46This is an opening, one that Brother Nero desperately needs.
01:12:52Tag made, Eddie Edwards diving in, trying to prevent Jeff Hardy from making a tag.
01:12:59Hardy, though, still fighting.
01:13:01Cratchy and clawing.
01:13:03And a tag made.
01:13:05Moose getting his hands on Eddie Edwards once again before they clash at Slammiversary.
01:13:12Who can send this big opening?
01:13:15Shall we go before one of our biggest events of the year?
01:13:20Yurinagi!
01:13:22Senton!
01:13:25Moose is on fire here, but look out!
01:13:28Ah, now Bear Bronson attacking Moose from behind.
01:13:33The animals are loose here in Denver.
01:13:38Bronson over the top.
01:13:41Moose in pursuit!
01:13:42There are a few big men as athletic as Moose.
01:13:47Edwards able to block.
01:13:49For a moment, Edwards goes to Hill!
01:13:54Oh, that's broken up by the tag champs.
01:13:57Just in the nick of time.
01:13:59That's the teamwork of the system.
01:14:01And Myers, trying to prevent the Hardys from getting up on the apron.
01:14:05Trying to take away any tag option for Moose.
01:14:08It's hard to bide and conquer.
01:14:13Moose sent into the corner.
01:14:17Triple team action here for the face of the franchise.
01:14:21And Bronson delivers!
01:14:24Elbow dropped by Myers!
01:14:26Edwards is legal!
01:14:28Can he pin Moose before slam-a-versary and a kick-out?
01:14:31And all that combination offense and Moose somehow still kicked out.
01:14:37Edwards couldn't believe it.
01:14:44But could it just be a matter of time?
01:14:49He'll be lining up the Boston knee party!
01:14:51Who is calling for Moose with another power-bomb to Edwards!
01:14:58Now Bronson with a choke-bomb!
01:15:02Brokow broke it, Matt Hardy back into the fray!
01:15:05Side effect!
01:15:08Everything breaking down!
01:15:11Spear by Myers!
01:15:20Everybody wants that big advantage heading towards Slam-a-versary!
01:15:28Broken bodies everywhere in a main event match-up!
01:15:35The hell!
01:15:37The righteous!
01:15:38Up on the stage!
01:15:40With that ladder!
01:15:41Last week, it was the Broken Ones who sent a cryptic message to the righteous!
01:15:47The righteous now trying to return the favor!
01:15:50A block twist delivered to Myers!
01:15:55And the Broken Heart is trying to focus on this match-up!
01:15:58The righteous clearly have taken their attention!
01:16:03Righteous scouting out!
01:16:05Both the system and the hearties!
01:16:07Could this be the key for Bronson and Myers?
01:16:09And their plan to retain in Slam-a-versary!
01:16:13Very well could it!
01:16:14Look out!
01:16:16And now Alyssa, who tried to manipulate Moose for months!
01:16:21Oh, easy now, Moose!
01:16:24Don't you even think about it!
01:16:27Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
01:16:30Alyssa's been a nuisance throughout this match!
01:16:34Oh, wait a minute!
01:16:35Oh!
01:16:36Canber the kendo stick!
01:16:37The referee didn't see it!
01:16:39Boston knee party!
01:16:40And that's gotta be it!
01:16:42There's the cover!
01:16:44Our critical win for the system!
01:16:47Ahead of Slam!
01:16:48Here are your winners!
01:16:51The system!
01:16:54A shot straight to the heart of Moose!
01:16:57Courtesy of Eddie Edwards!
01:17:02Take a look back here at the conclusion of this match-up!
01:17:06Alyssa Edwards has gotten involved in this match-up!
01:17:09Plenty of times this time!
01:17:11Using Ken for the kendo stick!
01:17:13The ref didn't see it!
01:17:14And it was a Boston knee party by Edwards that sealed the deal!
01:17:18Is this a sign of what's to come at Slammiversary?
01:17:23And while the righteous cryptically watch over their Slammiversary opponents as well,
01:17:29big implications for the tag team ladder match at Slammiversary!
01:17:34Well, ladies and gentlemen, earlier on tonight, we saw a six-man tag team match-up
01:17:38where Mike Santana and Mick Nemeth, the Slammiversary World Championship opponents,
01:17:43had to work together alongside KC Navarro up against Order 4.
01:17:49After the match-up, it broke down.
01:17:51Mike Santana went to go after Ryan Nemeth and accidentally struck KC Navarro.
01:17:57Mick Nemeth took that opportunity to lay out Mike Santana.
01:18:01The TNA World Champion has called out Nemeth,
01:18:04and I'm being told, Santana is on his way to the Impact Zone next.
01:18:09And we are back here on TNA Thursday night at Impact on AMC in Denver, Colorado.
01:18:16And there is the reigning TNA World Champion, Mike Santana,
01:18:20who is in a foul mood after an altercation with his Slammiversary opponent,
01:18:26Mick Nemeth, earlier on tonight.
01:18:30We welcome the TNA World Champion, Mike Santana!
01:18:39Earlier on, it was a six-man tag team match-up for KC Navarro.
01:18:44Santana and Nemeth teamed together.
01:18:46Santana and Nemeth had to cooperate for us.
01:18:49Their Slammiversary opportunity would go away for Daria Ray.
01:18:53In the end, it was Ryan Nemeth who tried to get involved after the match-up.
01:18:58Santana went after Ryan, but instead accidentally struck KC Navarro.
01:19:03Mick Nemeth took this opportunity, much like he took the opportunity last week,
01:19:09to play out Mike Santana and take yet another shortcut on the march towards Slammiversary.
01:19:16Cut that damn music!
01:19:22Hey, yo, Denver, what's good?
01:19:28Now, I ain't gonna waste no more damn time.
01:19:32I came out here because these people want to see a fight, am I right?
01:19:38So, Nick, let me give you the chance real quick.
01:19:42Bring your bitch ass out here.
01:19:44Let's handle this man-to-man.
01:19:49Oh, my God.
01:19:58That is not Nick Nemeth.
01:20:00That is his little brother, Ryan Nemeth.
01:20:12Everybody knows that my big brother is the greatest wrestler in the world
01:20:20world and the next TNA world champion.
01:20:29Actually, your big brother is a big bitch.
01:20:38No, he's not.
01:20:40My big brother is not a bitch, okay?
01:20:42You take that back.
01:20:44My big brother is a great...
01:20:46Shut up!
01:20:47Shut up!
01:20:48You listen to me!
01:20:49Everybody, listen to me!
01:20:52I'm not gonna talk until you all shut up and listen!
01:20:56My big brother is the next champion!
01:21:18Arrest my case. I'm still waiting
01:21:29You can keep waiting, Mike. Look at the look on your face. You're too emotional. Everyone out here, you like
01:21:36to feed off these people. They're feeding off of you.
01:21:44I'm gonna give credit where it's due. You have made the most out of your 15 minutes than anybody else.
01:21:52You had a hell of a year. You might as well get a blimp made. You had a good year,
01:21:56kid.
01:21:56And now, now we're done having the crowd feel sorry for you and root for an underdog and watch you
01:22:04be an emotional mess as some kind of a champion. You're on borrowed time. Everyone knows who the best is.
01:22:13You're looking at him so you can call me whatever the hell you want. But at Slam, you will call
01:22:19me champion.
01:22:37I'm going from the look of things, you're still standing at the top of that ramp and not stepping in
01:22:46this ring so I can whoop your ass in front of all these great people.
01:22:56So, to me, that still makes you what?
01:23:01Arrest my case. You want to stand up there? That's fine. I'll see you at Slammiversary because I'm going to
01:23:12spin the block. I'm going to rip your damn head off.
01:23:15And I'm still going to be TNA World Champion.
01:23:28Oh, man, extremely confident heading into the TNA World title match at Slammiversary.
01:23:40Is Santana on borrowed time or is never everything these people say he is? We're going to find out at
01:23:50Slammiversary.
01:23:51Another chance to be brave. My knees never lay to me bold. Your face is optional.
01:23:56But don't take it.
